DRIyInG SPIKE UNDER WATER.-l
In mill work, especially when making
repairs, it is often necessary to drive
large spikes under water to the
depth Of two, three, and even four
feet. Starting a spike BY hand and
then attempting to drive it by means
Of q crowbar is an unmechanical pro-
ceeding, to say the least. The Man
ufacturer's Gazette says one of the
neatest and also the best ways of ef-
fecting the desired object is to get
piece of steam pipe Of sufficient size
to permit the spike to drop easily
through it. Place one end Of this
pipe upon the spot where the spike
is to be driven, drop the spike into
the pipe, point first and then follow
it with an iron rod just large enough
to slide easily in the pipe. By using
the iron rod as battering ram, or
like a churn drill, the spike can be
easily and quickly driven home with
out spattering the person with mud
and water.
An improvement on this spike
driving rig may be made by getting
cast iron ball of two, four or six
pounds weight, drilling hole through
the ball sufficient to receive the iron
rod, also drilling another hole to re-
ceive a set screw. By screwing the
set screw down upon the rod, the
ball can be held in any desired posi-
ton. This bail gives extra weight
to the driving rod, and, in fact, forms
q kind of hammer whereby the
spike can be more quickly driven
home. 1t will not work we'll if you
try to drive the spike by means o.
the rod and sledge hammer. 1t il
better, by all means, to rig up tn
ball above mentioned, which will d.
the work we'll and quickly.

we'll fortified with the advances mad

On Sunday the 9th instant, two
boys of Mr.. Peck, who lives on Up
ger Hornet creek, were out hunting
on the headwaters of Hornet creek.
The boys were aged about IL and 16
years. They found cub bear which
they killed and went on little furth.
er when they saw full grown male
cinnamon bear at which the boys
fired but missed. This caused bruin
to take after them, the eldest boy
standing his ground and shooting a
second shot, this time breaking the
bears hind leg. The animal kept
coming on, and the boy being now
in close Quarters, dubbed the bear
over the head with his gun until the
instrument few from his hands, when
the now enraged animal caught the
little fellow by the arm, severely
biting that member and one of his
legs. At this time the 12-year old
boy rushed up, put his gun up to the
bears head and blew his brains out
thus saving his brothers life. This
for one so young was indeed heroic
act, and is worthy of note the world

SIX hundred and sixty acres of
placer mining ground have been To-
GATED this week in Grimes creek
being thirty three twenty acre
claims, extending from the big bend
of the creek about two miles below
old Boston to a point near Paul's
gulch, about two and a half mile from
Centerville; in all about six and one
halfs miles of the stream. From
what we have learned we believe the
intention of the locators is to start q
bedrock fume. If there is money
behind them they have made a gooo
move, if not, then there is no one
hurt. Whether they succeed or not
it is but question Of time when these
streams will all be worked, and there
is millions in them. One feature O
this we like: They ask no aid from
congress, nor any Legislative body
believing that existing laws govern
ing our mines are liberal enough.
